question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the importance of high quality early years education and care to (1) the ability of parents to contribute to national productivity, and (2) the potential for later economic productivity of those children benefiting from such provision.
tabling member printed	The Earl of Listowel
uin	HL5359
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/02/2017 answer text <p>Evidence from the Effective Pre-school, Primary and Secondary Education (EPPSE) study shows that good quality early education has a lasting impact on children’s attainment and later outcomes. Children attending high quality pre-school had improved academic attainment at age 16, and were more likely to go onto A-levels and attend university. Attending some pre-school compared with not attending pre-school was predicted to result in an increase in lifetime earnings. We continue to build our evidence in this area through the £6 million longitudinal Study of Early Education and Development (SEED).</p><p> </p><p>Wider research shows the impact of early years education and care on parents’ employment and, therefore, their ability to contribute to national productivity. For example, research from the Institute of Fiscal Studies in 2014 found that the expansion of funded provision led to a rise in maternal employment rate for those whose youngest child was three years old (see: Brewer, M et al. (2014) ‘The impact of free, universal pre-school education on maternal labour supply’).</p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 22/02/2017 13:36:13 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash

tabling member printed	Lord Northbourne
uin	HL5361
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/02/2017 answer text <p>The purpose of Ofsted school inspection is to assess the quality of education provided by the school for its pupils. This includes reporting on how well the school’s provision supports pupils’ personal development, behaviour and welfare, and their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. In addition, Ofsted’s school inspection handbook does require inspectors to consider how well leaders and governors engage with parents, carers and others in supporting pupils.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 21/02/2017 12:25:11 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash
